===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms consists of two parts. Until 1818 the council used generally the arms of the medieval De Roubaix family, which played a major role in the city until 1502. Their arms are ermine with a red chief. | |||
In 1818 the council adopted new arms showing industrial bellows with above and below symbols for the textile industry (bobbins and spindle). The meaning of the star is not clear. | |||
In 1859 the council decided to combine the old arms with the industrial one and the arms have not changed since. | |||
